Things are getting intense now....

Snafu was def looking out for him. Plenty of hazing but once they loaded on the ship he stayed hard but still looked out to him in his own way, jumping his case about taking his shoes off, then getting prepared to make the move over the airfield. Seemed like he was always trying to guide him

Not sure if its been mentioned already but the actor who plays Sledge, was the little kid in Jurassic Park.

Intense episode. Skipper being killed was tough. Good reaction. Each episode, Eugene does seem to become more hardened and worse in aspects. As you somewhat alluded to in the outro, likely not about germs, but that Snafu did not want Sledge to cross the line -- to commit an act that is not Sledge -- that would wound Sledge's humanity.

Seeing Gunny break was the worst part. That’s not supposed to happen to guys like that. And then losing Hillbilly and Ack Ack… this was a tough episode. I love the part when De’Leau gets chased out of the cave, “leaving a trail.” It sure wasn’t fun for him, but it turned out ok, and gave everyone something to laugh at. You’ve got to find something to laugh at, or else you will go insane. Laughter really is the best medicine. How does a war start and how a war should be fought… as explained by All Quiet on the Western Front (1930). https://youtu.be/ojqINFfeeQs?si=RxbyBjWGKebyp0aa

Yeah, Eugene Sledge wrote a book called "With the Old Breed : At Peleliu and Okinawa", in which he goes into depth about this incident. Sledge also appeared in several documentaries about the Pacific War in which he discusses this and many other experiences he had during the war. Ken Burns drew extensively from this book for his 2007 documentary "The War". As, of course does this series.

I work in aviation so I'm naturally drawn to the planes in movies and shows. I have to give props to the show makers for a small but highly accurate detail they put into this episode. The American Navy and Marine Corps fighters shown in the background throughout this episode are Vought F4U Corsairs which were commonly deployed in the fighter-bomber close air support role in the Pacific. At several points in the episode the planes are shown dropping bombs with their landing gear in the down position - this is not a mistake and was a common tactic used by the Corsair pilots. The F4U did not have integrated dive brakes which made them unstable in high speed dives; keeping the landing gear down acted as a makeshift brake allowing the pilots greater control when dive bombing. However, the main reason the pilots kept the gear down specifically on Peleliu is because the aircraft were being launched from both the captured airfield and carriers immediately off shore; the island was so small that the planes would reach their targets within seconds of take off. Raising and lowering the gears took about 90 seconds each which would have increased the required flight time of the aircraft. Simply keeping the gears down meant the planes could take off, drop their bombs and then immediately land to rearm for another sortie all in the span of a few minutes. The extra three minutes required to raise and then lower the gears again could have meant the difference in saving dozens of Marines lives.

So do you miss the episodes of Bastogne of Band of Brothers now after the all the 3 episodes of Peleliu? 5 6 & 7 Together they all felt to me like one in this. You understand how do you get to "that point" ? ,no you don't (luckily and rightfully so) because only those who have been there or other hell other than peleliu can relate most , but i highly respects that you're trying your best to do so unlike others (including in real life today) who speak so easily about sending someone to war to fight in their place and expect to just "soak it up" after and if they come back in one piece. I'll even tell you that some need way less than what happened to those Marines to lose their humanity or mind (or maybe both) and if they do you shouldn't think that because are weaker or something , do i know from personal experience? something like that😞. that's the kind shit war does to a man's head Lite and to make matters worse, it's going to stay like that forever and they gonna take it with them to the grave, this is something you absolutely you CAN understand and treat with empathy as much as possible. Last but not least, the skipper Cpt.Haldane "Ack Ack" randomly dies by the hand of a Japanese sniper, yeah.. i mean one second he was there with the guys even laughing about the "you left a trail boy , gonna find us now" and then, BOOM, "sniper got the skipper" is very realistic shit, one second he's there and next, he's being carried on the stretcher downhills with the bullet hole on his forehead, do i know this from personal experience as well? Something like that, and don't take just my word for it, remember John Basilone's saying in episode 2 "as fast as a bullet goes" ,enough said. Overall loved your reaction, and truth be told i was curious as hell to see your take on ep 7 in particular. Don't expect from big leaders btw tough, to go to die instead others, as if. Because they can, they will continue to do so as long s they benefit from it, especially if they know they won't be held accountable and sometimes there is nothing you can do about that. That's it ,and sorry btw way if something in what i wrote seems to be offensive in any way, just said it a little bit harsh, and the way it is, because i don't know how else.

"It starts with the teeth and it ends with you fucking playing basketball with a man's BRAINS!!!" As harrowing as that episode was, I really want to imagine this is how you conducted your history classes.

I said that I was worried about you in a couple of upcoming points of the show last episode. Well, Ack Ack's death was one of them. It was just a random death as you said. He was looking at a map with his head in just the wrong position and was visible to the sniper. And then the situation with Snafu and Sledge and the teeth. You can see it a bit in some of the earlier scenes but I think Snafu knew that he was not normal. That he noticed Sledge moving down that path and did what he could to pull him back so that Sledge does not lose that innocence and cross that line I think shows how good a person and friend he truly was!

Should watch Mr robot remi is great in that show

I remember that scene in a few earlier episodes where Sledge asked his friend "what it was like". He answered as best he could, but Eugene still couldn't understand. Now fastforward, back to that same exact beach on Pavuvu. He doesn't have to say anything - his blank stare says more than a million words could...
